I've recently been doing some performance testing with unlogged tables
vs logged tables on 9.5-rc1. Basically we're trying to do big loads of
data into the database periodically. If on the very rare occasion the
server crashes half way through the import it's no big deal so I've been
looking
Hello Anton,

Are you trying to avoid running a CHECKPOINT? Are you
